Christian,
The error message was an internal consistency check -- the system noticed
that an element of the cross-reference data in a two-dimensional matrix
(that's what the "m2" in the assertion failure stood for) was inconsistent.
As near as I can figure, what happened is that, somehow, you entered an
ASCII #0 character (that is to say, an actual ASCII NUL (#0), not the digit
"0", which is ASCII #48) into the form fields for private and public notes
for two sets (2198 and 6569).
Since ASCII #0 is used in this particular instance as a list-item separator
in the data matrix (it assumed that ASCII 0 couldn't be present in the input
data), the extra ASCII 0 caused confusion and made the code think the data
was corrupt.
To clear up the problem, I converted the 0's to spaces (ASCII #32) in the raw
data. (So you might want to double-check what shows up for those two sets.)
I also added an encoding filter on the data to make sure that ASCII 0's don't
sneak in again in the future.
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused -- and for not getting to
the bottom of this sooner. We were out of town on business Tuesday and
Wednesday and I started a new day-job on Thursday, so it's been an unusual
week. Things should be settling back to normal in a few days.
